Multiple layoutsEach page is divided into components that have their own layouts. Think of it like little [Lego™ blocks](https://www.lego.com) that make up your

Focus on content and simplicityKeeping your content free of any code empowers more users to change the content of your site. And because we chunk it all up into partials, content
authors are able to build completely new layouts all by them-self without ever touching more complex code.
Separating content and code also means searching through your content is easier and you can reuse layout as well as content blocks easily.

super complex ones that fetch data from online APIs.
Now you can start testing your layouts with [Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/) or any other react tester.
